Does perfectionism, obsessive thoughts, or hyper-focus on perceived flaws keep you stuck? Do you (or your child) struggle with your body image, and/or have a negative relationship with food? Maybe you keep it together on the outside but find it hard to stop the inner chaos. Self doubt, feeling like a failure, feeling inadequate, hating yourself or being filled with shame are all indicators that it is time to make a change. I can help you create a plan and feel hope. Most of all I can help heal the pain of past experiences, self doubt/hatred and live authentically.
As a therapist specializing in Body Image, Eating Disorders, Trauma, and OCD (including Trichotillomania, Dermotillomania, and other BFRBs), clients come to me looking for a grounding, calm anchor. I provide expertise and tailored treatment. Most importantly I offer comfort, compassion and understanding of the pressure to be perfect in an over exposed world.
Maybe you've tried therapy and felt that it wasn't for you. Here you can show up as your raw, unedited self without fear of judgement. Sessions with me are collaborative, connected and safe. We will do more than "just talk." We will work to get to the root of the problem, heal past traumas, heal your relationship with your body and develop tools that work.

My therapy style is warm, nonjudgemental and accepting. I will also push you and challenge you to face old coping mechanisms that have held you back. I work hard to build a solid therapeutic relationship with you so that we can move forward and work on sensitive issues.
